Second Test of X-43A Scramjet Tomorrow
pinkUZI writes "NASA says its new Hyper-X, a jet capable of flying some 5,000mph - seven times the speed of sound - will be ready to take a test cruise across the Pacific this Saturday. This is actually NASA's second attempt; the first, in 2001, failed when stabilizing fins flew off the plane's booster rocket and controllers ordered the craft destroyed. CNN has the story." NASA's mission web page has more information, photos, etc.
Which is better...

If you're not a Jew, you're probably a little bit on the stupid side. Einstein was a Jew. Johnny von Neumann was a Jew. The polio vaccine, and the folding shopping cart were both invented by Jews. Without the Jews to think up and invent things, and to heal us and write good books and so on and so forth, our civilization would exist in a state of barbarity. Come to think of it, the majority of countries with low Jewish populations ARE living in a state of barbarity.
What's NASA doing developing cruse missiles?
Can't we working any tech that doesn't have
do to with killing people?!
I sent this to their webmaster:

I find it somewhat humorous that on this page:
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/internetexp
the photo you use is that of a man, clearly fondling his male genetalia (aka 'junk') liberally while thinking of Macintosh and Apple Computer. While I don't want to get into a pissing contest about which OS is teh ghey, it's mildly humorous to find a ghey Mac user being used to advertise Microsoft's straightness, even if it is subtle.
Respectfully,

I'll try and keep an eye on it and see if they decide to change the photo.....
Offtopic my A** whomever modded this down, did you even follow the link?
Welcome to /. Michael plays the role of village idiot. Well, it's not so much "playing" as it is type casting. Quite frankly, this "village" is really run by a whole bunch of idiots. Michael seems to be the worst but Timothy is definitely the child of generations of incest.
You filthy fscker.

Yes, same story, same "editor". Welcome to Slashdot. Please pick up a gift bag from the table on the right.

I like this quote from the Mission Information - 'No vehicle has ever flown at hypersonic speeds powered by an air-breathing scramjet engine.'
.... Russia? Didn't even Australia get something flying?
:).
Aren't they forgetting a few other countries here - India
Maybe they haven't technically flown a _vehicle_, and maybe I'm slightly mistaken here, but I find it almost typical of NASA to so completely ignore these other countries who in this case actually got there first and are possibly (?) more advanced than NASA in this area.
Of course if your world view is limited to America and the occassional country it chooses to bomb, then the statement is in its way correct
You have Einstein, we have Newton
...
You have Neumann, we have Turing
You have Salk, we have Fleming
Good books you say? You have Shatner, we have Shakespeare
